‘I recently worked with Philippa to smarten up my presentation technique and confidence. Philippa was so easy to work with, welcoming and understood the areas I was looking to improve. She listened and offered advice and a whole variety of ways to change my delivery. Even after our session together, Philippa sent an incredibly detailed overview of our conversation notes and this has been valuable to reflect back on for a refresher when needed. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone that is looking to boost their skills and confidence – thank you Philippa!’

‘Philippa helped me with public speaking at the early part and as required during my career as a public speaker. Philippa’s acting skill was an added benefit for me which helped me to focus on voice modulation, posture, expressions and several other domains of effective speaking. Highly recommended if you are setting out on journey to public speaking. Thanks Philippa.’

Issac Theophilos, author of the Amazon bestseller book ‘How To Get Outstanding.’

‘I worked with Philippa after starting my own business. I had been asked to speak at BrightonSEO in spring 2018, in front of 500 industry insiders, and I had never spoken in front of a large audience before.

The thought was overwhelming and terrifying, but I knew that an opportunity like this could help my business if I could perform well on the day.

Through one-on-one coaching, Philippa helped me to build my confidence. She also taught me the tricks of the trade for public speaking and how I could make the most of my natural speaking style.

The BrightonSEO speech was a success and I was asked back to speak at the same conference in 2019, this time in front of 1,000 people.

It’s life-changing to have the confidence and know-how to speak well in public. I’d recommend that anyone who wants to improve professionally and personally invests in a coaching course with Philippa.’

Corinne Card, co-founder Full Story Media, trainer, speaker, digital PR

‘I did my reading in London last night for the new publishers and it went REALLY WELL. Thank you so much … that session and the advice you gave me was invaluable. I practised loads beforehand as you recommended and it paid off. I even felt surprisingly calm before going on … This is a massive confidence boost and it’s mostly thanks to you!’
